life a little easier for children living with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Our goal is to give these children, along with
their families, the opportunity to "take a breather" from CF and focus on creating magical memories that will
stay with them for a lifetime. Memories that will strengthen their hearts and minds as they battle the
psychological, emotional and economic turmoil that accompanies life with Cystic Fibrosis. Founded in 2012 as
a 501(c)(3) organization, the Foundation has been an outgrowth of the Narberth CF Run, which has been
fulfilling the dreams of children since 1996, when we granted our first wish and sent a child to Disney World.
Today we have granted over 160 wishes, and we look forward to connecting with more children with CF until
a cure is found.
Position Summary
Due to growth of our foundation, we are currently seeking a talented Development & Fundraising Associate
with strong fundraising experience, including special events, social media campaigns, sponsorship solicitation
